I assume you mean it is set to one of the composite video inputs, such as would receive video from a VCR or DVD player- from their video outputs.

Often, the channel up/down will move it to a channel. I suppose some sets are not this way however, and may even require the remote box. Functions are usually limited with only the buttons on the set itself (like most VCRs of the last 15 years or so). Advanced functions may not be available. Some of the better universal remotes might access these, otherwise the manufacturer remote is the way to fix the problem. Check http://mrremotecontrols.com, for a possible remote box.

I would suggest you take that remote back. I got a cheap 8 dollar GE remote from Dollar General for 8 bucks and all that is required to program it is for the TV to be on. I've never heard of a universal remote having to be in TV mode as that would defeat the purpose.

I would check to see if the Input button is stuck on the front panel of TV. If it is not stuck then it is probably still bad. Tactile switches are notorious for failing in this manor. The only real fix if it is not stuck down is replacing the switch.
I hope this helps,

Not familiar with this model but if you'll manage to locate a button marked as "TV/AV" or "AV" press this button until it the display switch to A/V mode (audio/video). Or if this is a really old model, from Tuner mode or channel model. set the channel station to 1 then press the " - channel " button and see if it will change from tuner mode to A/V mode

For TV video switching change program (-) button till you get 1 or 0. After 1 or 0 again press program (-) button you get video mode. Or try any other option in menu features to change video mode. I hope the above information is helpful to you.
